| Additional information |
China's 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics made that city the first to host both Summer and Winter Games, having previously held the 2008 Summer Olympics. The commemorative program surrounding the event was extensive — the People's Bank of China issued coins across multiple series and denominations beginning well before the opening ceremony, with colored silver pieces like this one aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation.
